I purchased this as a gift for my father-in-law for Father's Day and he loved it and is sharing it with others. There is no age bracket for a movie of this caliber.

Mort Sahl at the hungry i 1 review Mort Sahl
Verve, 2003
Great CD, but avoid Amazon.com!
A great slice of Mort Sahl's dry, understated sense of political humor circa 1960. As a teenager, I saw Mort at Ohio Wesleyan University (very late 60s or very early 70s) and was intrigued by his style, which creeps up on you rather than slaps you in the face (as most modern comedy unfortunately ...

Give Em Hell, Harry! 2 reviews
Goodtimes Home Video, 1975
A filmed performance of James Whitmore's one-man show as Harry S Truman
+ Terrific Classic!
One of the more unusual Oscar nominations in Hollywood history was James Whitmore for Best Actor in a Leading Role in 1976 for "Give 'Em Hell, Harry!" Whitmore's performance as Harry S Truman (remember the "S" does not stand for anything so it does not have a period after it as an initial) was ...

Sunrise at Campobello 3 reviews Ralph Bellamy, Greer Garson
Warner Home Video, 1998
Jean Hagen Shines
+ ONE DETERMINED INDIVIDUAL + Wonderful Docudrama!
Ralph Bellamy and (to a lesser degree) Greer Garson won plaudits for the amazing way they sunk themselves into their roles as FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt; and Hume Cronyn is also very good, but for sheer professionalism acting honors go to Jean Hagen for her no-nonsense take as FDR's private ...
